Jay Gruden has quite the busy career calendar. He’s made coaching jumps from Orlando to Virginia to Cincinnati and from the UFL to the NFL all in the span of one month.

Former Florida Tuskers and Virginia Destroyers coach Jay Gruden has been hired as the offensive coordinator for the Cincinnati Bengals replacing fired coordinator Bob Bratkowski. Destroyers General Manager Doug Williams confirmed the news to the Virginian-Pilot.

“I talked to Jay yesterday; he’s going to the OC in Cincinnati,” Doug Williams said. “I can’t blame him. He felt like he was caught in between, because he liked his job in the UFL. But he said he had to do it.”

It will be interesting to see how Jay Gruden fits in with the chemistry of the Bengals’ offense. During Super Bowl XLV media day, Chad Ochocinco spoke out about Bob Bratkowski’s firing.

Gruden, 43, also coached the Orlando Predators from 1998-2001 and again from 2004-08. Jay Gruden is the younger brother of ESPN football analyst Jon Gruden.

“He’s not the problem,” Ochocinco told the Cincinnati Enquirer. “We’ve had some of our best years under the same coordinator. It’s crazy how when we don’t perform well as a team or from the offensive standpoint it falls back on the coaches. It’s not the case. We’ve done very well under Marvin (Lewis) and Bratkowski. It’s crazy.”
